The real rip-off is that you still have to pay RRP
to buy direct from the supplier.

I think other shops and sites would boycott Lego if they started to get
undercut by the supplier
you simply cant afford to do it


It is a difficult business decision.

But in this case
1. the products in question in this case are exclusive to shop at home
2. they could at least offer a bulk discount.

Neither of these would affect their relationships with other retailers.

Nor has it stopped shop at home in the US having special offers in the past.
